Footnotes:
Because data is not available at the parish level, this data reflects the median cost of child care in that parish's DCFS region. The annual cost was determined by multiplying the median weekly weekday rate by 52 to provide an estimate of the cost of full-time, year-round care. Note that the median cost is that point at which half of the child care centers in that region are more expensive, and half are less expensive.
